On July 26 at approximately 0130 hours my friend and I oberved a bright star in the sky amid several stars. What caught our eye was that this star would move quickly from one point to another in the sky. The movements were very fast, the speed of a shooting star. The star would stop, then move again in another direction. This was not an aircraft of any type as its movements were too fast and erratic. This continued for appoximately ten minutes and then it vanished.
